Filmmaker Anurag Kashyap has called the Narendra Modi government egoistic and “illiterate”.

The filmmaker has been continuously attacking the government over the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) 2019, which was passed by Parliament on December 11.

Anurag Kashyap: “Narendra Modi Can Never Be Wrong, Because Illiterate People Are Like That”

In his recent Twitter post, Anurag wrote in Hindi: “The CAA/CAB is not going anywhere. It is impossible for them to take it back because for them, that would mean defeat. This government views everything in terms of victory and defeat. Such is their ego that even if everything gets burned to ashes, Modi can never be wrong. Because illiterate people are like that.”

The filmmaker apologised when a user slammed him for using the term “illiterate”. Replying to the user, Kashyap wrote: “Sorry that wasn’t the intention.. but you do understand what I am trying to say. Apologies if it comes across as an insult or looking down on someone. I do not mean that.”

This is not the first time the filmmaker is speaking against Prime Minister Modi and his government. He has been doing so ever since he returned on Twitter last month.
